IMPROVEMENT IN WRENCH-IES.

To allvhom it mog) concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK L. Omvnn, of Scarborough, in the county ofCumberland, and State of Maine, have invented a new and useful ImprovedWrench;

and I hereby 'declare the following to be a full, clear,4 and exactdescription thereof, which will enable others to make and use myinvention, reference being,l had to f the accompanying drawings, forminglpart of this speci 'starting the nut, necessarily take more time toremove it, because of the slow motion, and, in many cases, do not retaintheir hold of it till it is free of the axle, so that the iingers haveto be used before it can be fully removed.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame.

To obviate this diiiicnlty, I curve the handle ofthe common m'ench inthemanner shown in the drawing, or its equivalent, and attach to itsend, at right angles to it, another wrench vof like form. A view of thisend is shown at C. Y

The wrench A is used in starting the nut, as usual. The second wrench,O, is then applied, and turned by the curved handle of A, in the mannerof a bit-stock, thus giving a very quick motion, and taking oii` the nutwithout using the `Fingers, or touching.;- it in any way, and it can belaid down withont losing` its 'hold of the nut.

That I claim 'as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

The improved wrench for carriages, made in the manner andooi'nl'iininfir the parts herein speciied.
